If you’ve ever watched an episode of Scooby-Doo, you’ve probably wondered whether or not dogs can actually get the same sort of effect that humans get from smoking cannabis. The answer is a resounding yes, as there have been many cases in more recent days of dogs getting into cannabis edibles and getting so stoned they can’t do anything except lay around and drool. Cannabis has a very similar effect on dogs as it does on people, and this can be good and bad depending on the circumstances. Dogs can in fact get high, but please read on before smoking up with your dog. You’d much rather be safe than sorry.

​More than $8.4 million has flowed into Boulder County communities thanks to tax revenue generated by the sale of marijuana since legal sales began two-and-a-half years ago.And though the money has been welcome, it has not been the cash cow thousands of Coloradans had expected.

By Steve Chapman - Chicago Tribune May 18th 2016Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper opposed a 2012 state ballot initiative to allow the sale and use of marijuana for recreational purposes. He told voters it might "increase the number of children using drugs and would detract from efforts to make Colorado the healthiest state in the nation. It sends the wrong message to kids that drugs are OK." Spurning his advice, voters approved it.​

In an unanimous vote on Tuesday, the Colorado Senate approved “Jack’s Law,” a measure allowing children to use medical marijuana on school grounds. The law, which Governor John Hickenlooper supports, requires schools to establish policies for medical marijuana access, but does not require school administrators or nurses to administer it. Instead, it allows parents or caregivers to provide non-smokeable marijuana to students. ​

Although the U.S. Supreme Court recently rejected a lawsuit brought forth by Oklahoma and Nebraska demanding the immediate shutdown of the Colorado cannabis industry, a new report indicates the two prohibition states have not stopped devising war tactics to sabotage legal weed.

The United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) has granted approval to clinical trials assessing the therapeutic use of medical marijuana to treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) among US veterans, the non-profit group behind the study said in a press release on Thursday.​

After years high atop the Drug Enforcement Administration’s list of the most dangerous drugs, marijuana may soon be coming down.

The DEA said it will likely decide in the first half of 2016 whether to reclassify cannabis in a category other than Schedule 1, a group that includes heroin and is said to have no medical purpose but "potentially severe psychological or physical dependence."
